HERNANDO HIGH: The school's Royale Regiment Band performed at the recent Florida Bandmasters Association District 5 Marching Band Music Performance Assessment. This was not a competition, but rather assessment of marching and music standards.

The Royale Regiment Band was one of only four bands in Hernando, Citrus, and Pasco counties to earn straight superior ratings from all six adjudicators.

SPRINGSTEAD HIGH: The school's Marching Eagle Brigade attended the Class 2A Preliminaries on Nov. 19 at Riverview High School, where members competed against 27 other high school marching bands.

The band also plans to participate in the Brooksville Christmas Parade on Dec. 10 and will be marching in the Main Street Parade at Disney World on March 23.
